Roboter - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Roboter Rig.
Head - hung down, light side to side head shakes
Chest - bent over, light side to side twist and compress
Hips - rotate to offset the chest and allow for the next step
Legs - low small steps
Feet - drag back on the passing position land with a little overlap in the toes
Arms - left arm hands down with a small swing, right arm propped up near the neck
Hands - left hand overlaps and drags from the swing of the arm and forearm extending into the fingers and thumb, right hand flopped over the back of the neck with a little keep alive extending into the fingers and thumb



Animation Time! - Quatchi Rig


Today's Inspiration:
It's not in the draftsmanship, it's in the man. Like I say, a tool is dead. A brush is a dead object. It's in the man. If you want to do it, you do it.

I've never done anything half-heartedly; it's a disservice to me and the audience if I do it half-heartedly.
